In my post the other day on seven easy ways to cut $1 or more out of your daily budget, I mentioned that packing your lunch on a daily basis is an excellent way to make huge impact on your budget. Brown-bagging it can get old and boring quickly though . . . until now.
Cosmoda sent me this adorable Elle Christy Lunch Bag, and it almost makes me wish I had an office job again just to be able to carry my lunch back and forth in it! I was surprised at how nice the quality is, and you’d totally never even guess it’s a lunch bag until you unzip it and see the insulated material inside. Both the interior and exterior wipe clean easily, and did I mention just how gosh darn cute it is?!?
Cosmoda wants to help you save money by packing your lunch and still look chic while doing it, so they’ve given me three adorable lunch bags to give away to three lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers!
Mario Batali Messenger Lunch Bag Elle Brittany Lunch Bag Mario Batali Satchel Lunch Bag

Our lunches are usually leftovers from the night before with a twist if possible. Baked chicken becomes a chicken fajita. We throw in some fruit and of course must have a bite of CHOCOLATE!

Turkey Wrap – Tortilla with a little pesto and your favorite lunchmeat and cheese, and some lettuce and tomato – avocado too if you like. It’s a delicious and healthy lunch all wrapped up and easy to eat. Add a bottle of water and some yogurt or fruit and you’re set!

We usually just carry whatever we had leftover from the night before. If we don’t have leftovers, we’ll have sandwiches, chips, or DH will make tuna salad.

I like to make a salad with all kinds of goodies in it the night before when I am preparing dinner. Throw in whatever protein I made that night for dinner and add a cup of yogurt and a piece of fruit for a good for you and economical lunch.
